"You're just an eighth-level Martial Emperor, how dare you stop me?"

"My cultivation level is inferior to that of a Martial Emperor, but this grand formation in the capital was set up by me. In terms of array formation mastery, you, a Martial Emperor, are not even qualified to be my grandson!"

Zhong Lixiu looked at Tantai Xiong expressionlessly.

Tantai Xiong rubbed his fingers, his eyes twitching slightly. Although Zhong Lixiu's words were exaggerated, they were also true.

As the first commander of the Elders' Council.

Zhongli Xiu set up a large formation within the Kyoto area.

Even a Martial Emperor can be killed!

Just as he was hesitating whether to force his way through and storm into Qingxu Cave to rescue Tantai Kong, another exclamation came from the crowd on the outside.

The two of them instinctively turned their heads to look.

Tantai Kong, whose heart had been pierced by the Crimson Flame Dragon, actually stood up from the ground. He clutched his gaping wound, blood gushing from the corner of his mouth, his body hunched over, and cast a venomous glare at Lin Jinglong.

"You're not good enough to take my life!"

Tantai Kong spat out a mouthful of black blood and growled.

At the same time, his aura was rising steadily, and he soon broke through the limit of the ninth-level peak and was actually rushing towards the Martial Emperor realm!

Tantai Xiong immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the same time, I felt a secret pang of regret.

"Having failed to achieve the Pure Glazed Body, he forcibly broke through to the Martial Emperor realm. Although he is still powerful, his potential is far less, and he cannot cultivate the Immovable King to its fullest potential!"

Even an outsider like Tantai Xiong felt it was a great pity.

Needless to say, Tantai Kong himself was in even more pain. If his heart hadn't already been shattered by Lin Jinglong, simply making this decision would have been enough to make his heart bleed and cause him immense suffering.

Lin Jinglong looked at Tantai Kong in this state.

His brows were deeply furrowed.

He raised his hand and slashed again.

This time, however, Tantai Kong did not try to dodge. Instead, he forced himself into a semi-transparent state, absorbed the vast spiritual power within the Qingxu Cave Heaven, and withstood the attack.

Having already broken through to the peak of the ninth rank and was moving towards becoming a Martial Emperor, Tantai Kong seemed completely unafraid of Lin Jinglong's powerful attack.

He then unleashed several more slashes.

Tantai Kong remained completely unmoved!

At the same time, the vast spiritual energy within the Qingxu Cave formed a huge vortex above his head, continuously repairing his injuries.

Numerous granulation tissues grew along the edges of the hollow in the chest.

They actually managed to make him grow a heart!

"Lin Jinglong, give up. Although I failed to achieve the Pure Glazed Body, this half-Glazed Body combined with the Martial Emperor realm means you can't harm me in the slightest!"

Tantai Kong looked at Lin Jinglong with disdain.

Without any hesitation, Lin Jinglong sheathed his Dragon Roar Blade, rushed into the True Dragon Cave, grabbed the dazed Ge Ling'er, and ran away with her at top speed.

"This guy actually managed to forcibly advance to the Martial Emperor level!"

"It's a pity that the previous strike didn't kill him, giving him the opportunity to advance in his cultivation level!"

"He can survive even with his heart stabbed open. I should have smashed his head and crushed his soul!"

Lin Jinglong learned his lesson this time.

If you decide to kill again in the future, remember to attack the vital points and finish the job in time.

During his escape, Lin Jinglong also consumed a Grade 7 precious pill, which allowed his severed left arm to regrow and barely replenish some of his strength.

But then he looked back.

On True Dragon Mountain, a massive vortex of purple-gold spiritual energy had completely converged and was heading towards Tantai Kong at the center.

Ge Ling'er, who was tucked between his waist and his arm.

He also looked back at the scorched forest.

"Lin Jinglong, I can't break the Gaia Sword's seal in a short time. It seems we're doomed!"

Ge Ling'er was almost in despair.

These ancient great cultivators were repeatedly driven to the brink of despair, and they thought that after Lin Jinglong comprehended the Immovable King Technique with his heaven-defying comprehension, they could escape unscathed.

I never imagined that Tantai Kong had such a profound background!

Besides Ge Ling'er, everyone else outside thought the same thing. Tantai Xiong, who was originally confronting Zhong Lixiu, felt no regret.

At least on the surface, it was full of sarcasm towards Zhong Lixiu.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you."

"I was just sitting in the tent for too long and came out for a stroll. You bastard, you suddenly jumped out to cause me trouble."

"You don't think I want to go in and help, do you?"

Tantai Xiong looked gloating.

Zhong Lixiu's expression had turned ashen.

He turned his head to look at the huge painting, wishing he could rush in himself and use the power of the Kyoto Grand Array to forcefully suppress Tantai Kong and prevent him from reaching the Martial Emperor realm!

But there are some things that he, the Fourth Elder, cannot do, since he has at least the Second Elder, Wei Xia, above him!

“Zhong Lixiu, I really feel sorry for you. Your elders can recruit a talent as extraordinary as Lin Jinglong, but they can’t make the most of him.”

"To die young at the hands of my clan's imperial prince!"

"Watching Young Master Kong become a Martial Emperor must have been very painful for you, right?"

Tantai Xiong kept making sarcastic remarks to him.

Zhong Lixiu did not respond, but turned back to the large tent below and spoke to Wei Xia with a gloomy expression.

"Tantai Kong is about to become a Martial Emperor, which will consume the spiritual energy of Qingxu Cave. If we don't stop him, we will lose both our resources and our lives!"

"What do you mean by losing both money and people?"

Wei Xia looked completely bewildered.

Zhong Lixiu said fiercely, "Lin Jinglong is one of our people, and the spiritual energy in Qingxu Cave also belongs to our Elders' Council!"
